Abstract: A dielectrically insulated secondary tubular flue for mounting inside a water holding tank of a gas-fired water heater is provided to increase the efficiency of the water heater. The secondary tubular flue has opposed tubular end sections and an helical tubular section integrally formed therewith. The tubular end sections each have connecting end sections adapted to form a part of a dielectric connector for securing the secondary tubular flue inside of the water holding tank by the dielectric connectors.

Abstract: An outlet heat trap assembly for a tank-type water heater includes a tube having a tube wall, the tube defining a bore extending along a longitudinal axis and a transverse opening through the tube wall, the transverse opening communicating with the bore; and a flexible member within the bore, the flexible member deflectable between a first position in which the flexible member covers the transverse opening, and a second position in which the flexible member is deflected toward the longitudinal axis to allow fluid flow through the transverse opening into the bore. The outlet heat trap assembly further comprises an insert member coupled to a distal end of the tube, wherein the tube further defines an axial opening at the distal end of the tube, the axial opening communicating with the bore, and wherein the insert member covers the axial opening.

Abstract: An accumulator tank for handling a heat transfer medium, may have a tank top section and a bottom section. The accumulator tank may be connected to at least one heat-emitting system and at least one heat-absorbing system. The accumulator tank may have a plurality of partition walls located inside the tank and arranged between the bottom section and the top section for the purpose of dividing the tank into a plurality of spaces. The systems may be connected to at least one respective space so that a temperature gradient is created between the bottom section and the top section. Also disclosed is a system for distributing and handling heat and/or cold, the accumulator tank.

Abstract: An improved heat trap disposed in at least one of an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe for delivery of cold water into and hot water out of a water tank. The improved heat trap includes a tubular body and a seal element comprising first and second axially spaced flapper members which are adjoined by a spine. The seal element extends through the tubular body whereby the first and second flapper members form a seal against an interior surface of the tubular body to prevent the delivery of water through the tubular body.

Abstract: A water heater including a thermal break in the form of an air pocket that moves into an air trap segment of the cold water pipe to reduce heat loss during standby. The air pocket is pushed back into the tank by incoming cold water during a hot water and reforms at the top of the tank. During standby, the air pocket moves into the air trap via an anti-siphon hole communicating with the cold water inlet. The anti-siphon hole can be, for example, in the top of the dip tube.

Abstract: This invention relates to a heating/cooling system operating on the basis of a novel SPLIT BUFFER TANK; representing an efficiency improvement alternative to HVAC systems functioning with existing commercial buffer tanks. Currently, commercial buffers have the heat source provider (HSP)-return and system-return discharging to a common buffer/vessel. Novel SPLIT BUFFER is provided with a SEPARATION DISK placed inside the tank as mechanical way of separating the hot water inflow from the HSP from the warmer water inflow from system return. The disk moves up and down along the tank driven by demanded water supply and return. Pump-1 circulates hot water from the hot section of the buffer to the secondary system claiming for heat. Pump-2 circulates warmer water from the warmer section of the buffer through the HSP where it is reheated, and subsequently stored in the hot section of the buffer to reinitiate this cycle again.
